LOVED IT

THE DETAIL MR BROWNE ALWAYS INCLUDES ARE SIMPLY STUNNING AND FASCINATING. A GREAT READ, LOVED IT!

As good as anything by Browne; infer... imply?

I have read everything this author has ever written, and "Blues" holds up to the same standards. I don't know of another author (at least not as prolific) who has such a grasp of the gem world and can weave it with stylish action so perfectly. The only predictable thing about Browne novels is that the protagonist always seems to end up with a fortune at the end of the story. It's fun to identify with, by sadly not how life usually works. My only gripe about "Blues" is that Browne needs to look up "infer" in the dictionary and see that it's not interchangeable with "imply". I was suprised to find about 9 occurances of misuse of such a common word. This is high school grammar stuff!

What a great story!

I've read other books by this author and stumbled across this one at the local bookshop. It is a real page-turner and I stayed up half the night to read it all! I am a jewelry designer and the pearls and jewelry angle in the story added to my enjoyment level. Brown expertly builds the intrigue and mystery to the climax where pieces of the story fall into place. This is the story of rare beauty and worlds that overlap generationally as well as internationally through business affairs as well as affairs of the heart. There is greed, murder, romance and wonderful details of places, people and rare blue pearls.
